Pickle

Pickles are a popular condiment and snack made by preserving fruits, vegetables, or other food items in brine (saltwater), vinegar, or oil. The process of pickling enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients, infusing them with a tangy, salty, or spicy taste. Common types of pickles include cucumber, mango, lime, and chili pickles, with regional variations offering unique flavors based on local spices and ingredients. In addition to their delicious taste, pickles also have a long shelf life, making them a convenient way to preserve produce. They are often enjoyed as side dishes, snacks, or used to complement main dishes like sandwiches, burgers, and curries. Pickles are rich in probiotics when fermented, offering digestive health benefits, and are often enjoyed for their sharp and tangy flavors that balance out rich or spicy meals. Depending on the preparation method, pickles can range from mildly tangy to intensely spicy, catering to various taste preferences
